Working boots

ABSTRACT

A working boots includes an upper having a front portion and a rear portion, a sole having a toe portion corresponding to the front portion, a heel portion corresponding to the rear portion of the upper and a protection plate extending upright from the heel portion and surrounding an outer periphery of the heel portion and a seam securely sandwiched between the upper and the sole via stitches and surrounding an outer periphery of the front portion of the upper.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority from application No. 101200050, filedon Jan. 2, 2012 in the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the invention

The present invention is related to a pair of working boots, and moreparticularly to a pair of working boots having no inner sole and amidsole securely attached to the sole and the upper of the working bootsby stitches and a heel protection plate extending upright from the heelportion of the sole.

2. Description of Related Art

With reference to FIG. 1, the conventional working boot 1 is composed ofan upper 10, a sole 11, an inner sole 12 and a seam 13. The seam 13 isintegrally extending outward from a periphery of the upper 10. The innersole 12 is securely connected to the upper 10 by stitches through theseam 13.

Thereafter, the inner sole 12 is connected to the sole 11 by glueapplying to a side face of the inner sole 12 or the sole 11.

With this kind of structure, it is predictable that not before long, theinner sole 12 will peel off from the engagement with the sole 11 due toworn of the glue. Furthermore, because the seam 13 surrounds the entireperiphery of the upper 10, extra unnecessary weight is added to theboot, which cause the boot to break more easily. What's more is that aprotection plate might be added to the front portion of the upper 10 toprotect the worker's toes, and this extra weight shortens the lifespanof the working boot.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a pair oflightweight, durable working boots.

Another objective of the present invention is to have a working boothaving a seam extending only a portion of the front portion of the soleand a protection plate extending upright from the heel portion toincrease protection for the user's heel.

FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the working boot shown in FIG.2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference to FIGS. 2, and 3, it is noted that the working boots 2constructed in accordance with the present invention includes an upper20, a seam 21 and a sole 22.

The upper 20 is composed of a front portion 200 and a rear portion 201.The sole 22 is composed of a toe portion 220 corresponding to the frontportion 200 of the upper 20 and a heel portion 221 corresponding to therear portion 201 of the upper 20. Furthermore, a protection plate 222 isformed on the heel portion 221 and the protection plate 222 surrounds anouter periphery of the heel portion 221.

The seam 21 is securely sandwiched between the upper 20 and the sole 22by stitches. It is noted that after the upper 20, the seam 21 and thesole 22 are securely combined via stitches, the seam 21 only surroundsan outer periphery of the front portion 200 of the upper 20 and each oftwo ends of the seam 21 meets with different end of the protection plate222.

The sole 22 has a slip-proof element formed on a bottom face thereof.

In one embodiment, the slip-proof element includes multiple protrusionsextending from a bottom face of the sole 22. In a different embodiment,the slip-proof element includes multiple concaves defined in the bottomface thereof. In still a different embodiment of the present invention,the sole 22 is made of a water-proof material.

While the invention has been described in connection with what isconsidered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understoodthat this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but isintended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit andscope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all suchmodifications and equivalent arrangements.

What is claimed is:
 1. A working boots comprising: an upper having afront portion and a rear portion; a sole having a toe portioncorresponding to the front portion, a heel portion corresponding to therear portion of the upper and a protection plate extending upright fromthe heel portion and surrounding an outer periphery of the heel portion;and a seam securely sandwiched between the upper and the sole viastitches and surrounding an outer periphery of the front portion of theupper.
 2. The working boots as claimed in claim 1, wherein each end ofthe seam meets with different end of the protection plate.
 3. Theworking boots as claimed in claim 2, wherein a slip proof element isformed in a bottom face of the sole.
 4. The working boots as claimed inclaim 3, wherein the slip proof element is composed of multipleprotrusions extending from the bottom face of the sole.
 5. The workingboots as claimed in claim 3, wherein the slip proof element is composedof multiple concaves defined in the bottom face of the sole.
 6. Theworking boots as claimed in claim 3, wherein the sole is made of awaterproof material.
